THE ANDOVER HERESY TRIAL.
Adj Onrned 6iEe Die-The End of the
SO Called Great Case,

Boston, MASS, January Sin the
Andover heresy trial today, after fome
IRE imiDaries, the case against ]. T.
Fucker was taken up. Prof. Tucker
read statement OF which the follow.
ing ia part: II accept for myself, as do
those who will follow me, the defense
made by our honprad colleague, Prof.
Smith, on all the points which are
equally applicable to all Of Us. My
defense is tEofold; it covers my per-
sonal and my official relations to the
creed, l answer that the theology
OF progressive orthodoxy Is a
natural and legitimate outcome OF
the creed OF the seminary, especially
on tle point OF greateit contenti IN,
that OF prob ton for all men uDder
the gospel" Prof. Tucker was fol-
lowed by Prof. Harris, who said, in
subs auce: "The doctrine OF salvation
by the light Of nature, which our
prosecutors insist that the creed
teaches, was, when the creed was
made, a Unitarian argument, and
everv professor is pledged to oppose
the Unitarian AID Universalist theory.
The Interpretation which our oppo.
nents insist shall be put upon the
creed 10 that only those who in this
life share in the blessings OF grace are
ever effectuaIly called. Acco ding
to this Interpretation, by a logical
result, all infants and the mass OF the
heather ere lost. What better me ans
can bs taken to build no universal
ismi As for future probation, never
believed that any man has a second
probation under the gospel" Prof.
hincks being the next respondent,
stated that he had been N rusted with
the work Of expounding and inter
preting the Scriptures at the semi.
nary. He had never reach I'D
conclusions at variance with the
principles of the creed. The
provision made by the founders
showed that they expected interpre-
ters to be progressive and to keep
abreast OF contemperaneou biblical
criticisms. 1t WIGS their purpose that
the creed should be brought to the
test of the Word Of God contained in
the Old and Nav Testament, and this
he had honestly and conscienti 1usly
sought. Prof Churchill said: "When

able 10 ekterminate the evil. Va.
Hsncy has always been treated a. q
penal offense, but 1t has existed in all
countries and no Law has been able to
suppress IL. As in the caso OF other
crimes tho severest penalties have
proved no more effective tnan the
mildest restrictions. imprisonment,

ing the last three hundred years
while in England the whipping, ear,
cropping sud hanging which the old
law used 10 meie out for nearly every
o1enss had no terroTs to the vsgrants.
These tTamps are not only 80 much
muscle and brain substrac!ed from
the producing forces, but they are the
source from which the worst class OF
criminals are recruited. Tramping is
not the way to cure tramps, for va
grancy is not 30 much the result OF
criminal instincts as crime is
tho consequence OF vagrancy.
Tramping fosters and excites
the criminal propensitieS, and
almost every man who becomes a
tramp will ultimately become crimi.
nal. Men are restrained from crime
not 80 much from fear 81 the laws as
by habits, self respect, associations and
the fear of public opinion. But tramp
ing removes all these restraints. When
a man has no property Of his own to
make him respect the rights OF prop
eity in others; when he is moving
from place to place so continuously
that he forms no acquaintances outside
oithe gang with whom he travels; vixen
he lives al lie that makes reputation o
matter OF no consequence, he is sure TO
develop into a criminal. Giving the
tramp push and telling him to move
on ia no remedy for the evil. The
word tramp is now Synonymous with
villainy. In every Safe in the Union
tramps are regarded as 50 m any thievt 8
and murderers roaming over the coun-
try, and as they are outlaws, the PEN
itentiary is the proper place for them.
Make tramping a crime by law is the
only way to extreminate the evil.
Men who won't work to support them
selves and live by stealth and murder
should be made to work within prison
walls, where they can neither murder
nor steal.
